Maybe it’s just me, but while I have enjoyed this podcast, these going over every streamer option things are really tedious.
It was only for end of season since many owners are using the strategy now. It’s tedious for us as well, but really the only timely and relevant information at this time.
I really enjoy the streamer options discussion. Very appropriate for the end of the season.
I noticed you didn’t mention Harang or did I miss it? Did you not mention Harang because you think he’s so bad?
Correct, because he’s bad, plus, he’s on the Mets and their offense stinks.
Yeah I see the Mets aren’t hitting in September (unless it’s Cole Hamels whom I own). But Harang has been pitching pretty well since he came to the NL with a 4.24 ERA and 19 K’s in 17 IP. Just a small sample size blip?
I wouldn’t call a 4.24 ERA in a pitcher’s park in the NL pitching “well”, but yeah, it’s 17 IP, which is rather meaningless.
Thanks for the podcasts. Great info that helped me win my big league. Really like the streamer options talk too.
I listen to this podcast on my way into work every day that it is available [the next day].
Great job on the top flight insight and thanks for the support and laughs this season.
Streamer options is relevant in both roto and H2H leagues during this time, I don’t want to and won’t put limits on what Eno and Mike can talk about.
My league is a bit deeper so I’m trying to rank the remaining streamers left. These are my rankings based on your input. Would you agree? I’m weighing win probability more.
1. Jimmy Nelson
2. Haren
3. Maurer
4. Harang
5. Happ
6. Richards
I think that ranking is perfect.
Thanks! I must be learning something from listening to your podcasts all season. 🙂
Thanks for everything.
I won my 16-team and I can’t say that I did it on my own.
